i'm not a bad man

Chapter 27 About Ambition
After the taxi followed the traffic on the elevated highway, it suddenly turned into a galloping state, which made the whole city go backwards very quickly, but I didn't feel that I was moving forward, I just felt that the whole city was fleeing. He was eager to abandon me, as if he was afraid of being infected with my loneliness.

Yes, loneliness is contagious, so even though there are thousands of lights and busy traffic, when I look at this city, I still feel so empty and lonely.I know that my loneliness turned into the wind, blew through the whole city, and dimmed the whole city, and finally evolved into a subjective feeling in my heart.

I never regarded loneliness as a kind of enjoyment, so I closed my eyes and stopped looking at the scenery outside the car window until the driver spoke to me: "Young man, wake up, get ready to get off."

I opened my eyes and looked. The driver had already driven the car to the taxi company. He said to me again: "I'm getting ready to hand over my shift. You can go anywhere. I'll drive the car directly to our company. You can stay there." If you want to eat later, there are restaurants on the street opposite."

"Row."

I responded, paid and got out of the car, then stood on the side of the road looking for the street where the driver mentioned that there were all restaurants. I didn't want to but saw the conspicuous neon sign of "Third People's Hospital", which was probably right next to me. Less than 500 meters ahead; it turned out that the driver just took me around on the elevated road and then returned the same way.

I don't care about the destination, but I don't want to turn back, so I feel a little unhappy. But when I want to talk to the driver for a few words, I find that the car has long been hidden among the many taxis, and I can't find it anymore. identify.

After cursing "fuck", I walked towards the opposite street.

……

I found a small restaurant, ordered a rice bowl, and started eating.

During the whole meal, I was thinking about where the RV was parked. I only remembered that after leaving "May [-]th Square", I drove another three to five kilometers, but I forgot whether I was driving left or right. I can't determine the left and right, which means that the search range must be at least ten kilometers in radius.I always tell others that my RV is my home, but this situation makes me feel sad. How can there be a home that I can't find in this world?

……

After eating, I called Ren Ran. Since there was nowhere to go, why not go to the hospital with her to see Ba ​​Xiaoguang? This was something we had agreed on before.

About 10 minutes later, Ren Ran and I met. As soon as I sat down in the passenger seat, she complained: "You have been discharged from the hospital. Why didn't you call me to pick you up?"

"It's not a crippling disease. If I hadn't forgotten where the RV was parked, I would have to go back and take a shower before I have time to ask you out."

Ren Ran had a speechless expression on his face: "I'm in my early thirties this year, and this is the first time I've heard that someone lost their home. It's been a long time since I've lived!"

I smiled, said nothing, and then said, "Can't you find a place to live well? You can't remember the name of the community."

"Besides, things haven't started yet, so don't think about stability first."

"The point is, you are too unstable."

I smiled awkwardly, then changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you prepared the money?"

"It's ready, it's in my bag."

I picked up Ren Ran's handbag, and it was really heavy. Ren Ran glanced at me and asked, "You don't believe me so much?"

"We were drinking together. You lost your high heels twice, your wallet five times, and your mobile phone three times... You have been confused for more than a year. I just don't believe you will suddenly wake up."

"It's not that easy to wake up, but whatever you ask me to do, I will put an emphasis on it and keep it in my mind." After a pause, Ren Ran said with a smile: "I haven't drunk in two days, take your time. chant."

"There's no rush, there's plenty of time." "By the way, come with me to meet a client tomorrow night. He has a B&B to renovate, with a total of thirty rooms, and plans to invest 500 million. He doesn't have any special requirements. , just let us promise to decorate it before the Chinese New Year so as to catch up with the peak tourism period during the Chinese New Year.”

"Sister Ran, do you know how to decorate? Thirty rooms and an investment of 500 million. For a B&B, it is a high-end positioning. Since it is a high-end positioning, it must have a design. The design cycle is at least one There are still about four months left before the Chinese New Year. Excluding the one month spent on design, there are only three months left for construction... Tell me, how can you install a three-dimensional building in three months? A ten-room B&B?”

"Isn't it good to install it? At worst, we can use the human sea tactic. As long as there are more workers, the construction period can always be caught up."

"I can't rush it. Decoration is not as simple as you think. For example, when running water and electricity, you can't do any work related to the floor and walls. You have to stop and wait for them. Decoration is divided into layers. This is one of them. ...Secondly, you have to consider another important factor, which is winter. If you encounter extremely cold weather and the construction site freezes, a lot of work will not be done. Finally, there is the labor aspect. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, Many workers have to rush home to celebrate the New Year, and there will definitely be problems with manual connections. How can you guarantee the construction deadline?"

Ren Ran was confused by what I said. She was confused for a while before replying: "The developer builds the real estate in a cycle of one to two years. Let's decorate a [-]-room B&B, four Isn’t the month enough?”

"Can you compare with developers? The construction groups they cooperate with are well-trained and have clear division of labor. Large construction groups have all kinds of equipment. They can just do it. You can't spend money to buy it for the time being. Equipment, you have to rent it. Do you think you don’t need time to talk about it? It’s just equipment. You can talk about all the other messy things. As we talk, we’ll run out of time. You said it’s only four months in total, how can it be used?”

"Then you mean you won't take on this project?"

I replied patiently: "That's not to say I won't take it. It means that before doing this, you have to have a basic understanding of this industry. With this understanding, you can then appropriately ask the customer to give you time." We have a little leeway... If the customer is really unwilling to give, we can't take the risk to do something that is simply impossible. If we fail to deliver the work as scheduled, it will ruin our reputation and may cause disputes. Come."

Ren Ran was a little discouraged and sighed for a while: "I thought of this matter simply."

"That's not true. How can you, a wealthy flower in the world, know the secrets of the construction site?"

Ren Ran's bad mood lasted only a few seconds, and then he smiled and said to me: "That's why I must ask you to cooperate... Han Chao, let's think about it differently. This four-month construction period, looking at the entire In Qingdao, no decoration company dares to guarantee that it will be completed on time. What if we just complete it within the stipulated time? Then will our reputation in the industry be instantly established?"

"You really dare to think."

"I won't be afraid of pushing the brave to death or starving the timid to death as long as you are here."

"I'm afraid, please restrain yourself, my liver is trembling!"

Ren Ran laughed and didn't know her attitude clearly, but she was right, everything must be reversed. If this project is carried out and completed as scheduled, it will play a role in building reputation and team building. A huge boost.

An ambitious person will not give up such an opportunity easily.

At this time, I couldn't help but ask myself: Am I an ambitious person?
Of course not, otherwise I wouldn’t have thrown myself on the road and wandered for so many years; not only did I have no ambition, but I also hated the word. My family was ruined by ambition. At the beginning, my father was unwilling to be rich. Ji'an blindly expanded the scale but failed to keep up with the management level in time, which led to the tragedy. Not to mention that his family was in ruins, he only thought of the five workers who lost their lives because of the accident. To this day, , I still feel a chill in my heart, that is related to the misfortune of five families!

……

Renran didn't know what I was thinking at this time, but she still drove the car very fast. After a while, we arrived at the hospital where Ba Xiaoguang's wife gave birth.

I was familiar with the road and took Ren Ran directly to the floor where they were, but was told by the nurse that they had been discharged from the hospital yesterday.

After a caesarean section, you have to stay in the hospital for at least a week. Ba Xiaoguang's wife was very careful, so she only stayed in the hospital for four days. This was probably due to lack of money.

So, I quickly took out my mobile phone and dialed Ba Xiaoguang's number. Something surprising happened to me. His mobile phone could no longer be connected. I was a little confused: Could it be that someone these days would have their phone shut down because they couldn't pay the phone bill? ?

Or……?
